This week we celebrate the day against domestic abuse. As a result, we propose this beautiful but sad song about child abuse. This song is written from the point of view of an abused child. It was a hit in 1987 and it was one of the earliest songs in the pop music industry to deal with domestic abuse. Let's see the video and and listen to this interesting song!

Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night
Guy Fawkes or Bonfire Night is the night of November 5th. In 1605 Guy Fawkes, a Roman Catholic and his fellow conspirators attempted to attack King James I and the Houses of Parliament because they disagreed with King's Protestant policies. They succeeded in storing 36 barrels of gunpowder in a cellar located under the Houses of Parliament. However, before the Parliament opened its session on November 5th , the gunpowder plot, as it was known, was discovered. Guy Fawkes and his colleagues were executed for treason.
From that moment on November 5th has been celebrated in England with the burning of a cloth effigy of Guy Fawkes called “guy”, usually accompanied by a fireworks display.
